5 Claims. No Drawings 1 CARBAMIC ACID ESTERS This invention relates to novel fungicidal agents. More particularly, it pertains to novel carbamic acid ester having the formula (I),

wherein R is a halogen atom or a nitro, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkylthio, cyano, sulfonamide, lower alkylsulfinyl or lower alkylsulfonyl group, and groups represented by R'm may be same or different; m is an integer of l to 5; and X is a furyl or thienyl group or a group having the formula According to the experiments carried out by the present inventors, however, it has been clarified that the present compounds are more excellent in fungicidal activity than the above-mentioned known compounds.

The carbamic acid esters represented by the aforesaid formula (I) are chemicals which are particularly suitable for the control of plant diseases. They can most effectively control or exterminate such plant disease as rice blast, and further have activities against rice sheath blight, rice helminthosporium leaf spot, rice bacterial leaf blight, cucumber anthracnose, powdery mildew, vegetable sclerotinia rot, etc. Moreover, they have activities not only on plant pathogenic fungi but also on other injurious fungi such as molds, or bacteria, etc.

The novel carbamic acid esters of the present invention can be produced by various modes of reactions, for example, they can be produced by (l) reacting a phenylchloroformate having the formula (II),

2 Q (t at o 1 R 1 (II) with a methylamine derivative having the formula (III),

H N-CH -X,.

(III) or (2) reacting a phenol having the formula (IV).

R m with an isocyanate derivative having the formula (V),

OCN-CH X,

or (3) reacting a phenyl-N,N-ethylenecarbamate having the formula (VI),

with an alcohol or mercaptan having the formula (VII),

HY-( ow Q 2 VII R 113 2 or (4) reacting a carbamyl chloride having the formula (VIII) 5 wherein R, R, m m X, Y and n are as defined above. These reactions are described in more detail as follows.

The reaction of phenylchloroformate derivative with methylamine derivative is carried out, for example, by dissolving a phenylchloroformate having the formula (II) in an inert organic solvent such as benzene or toluene, dropping into the resulting solution a methylamine derivative having the formula (III) in an amount equimolar to the chloroformate, and further dropping therein an equimolar amount of a dlehydrochlorinating agent, e.g. a tertiary amine such as triethylamine or pyridine. The reaction temperature is variable within a wide range, and can suitably be decided as occasion demands. The phenylchloroformate represented by the formula (II) which is used as a starting material can be easily synthesized from a corresponding phenol and,

phosgene.

rivative is carried out, for example, by dissolving a phenol having the formula (IV) in an inert organic solvent such as benzene or toluene, and mixing the resulting solution with an isocyanate derivative represented by the formula (V) to obtain a desired carbamic acid ester (I). In this case, the reaction readily progresses in the presence of a catalytic amount of a tertiary amine, e.g. triethylamine.

The reaction of phenyl-N,N-ethylenecarbamate with alcohol or mercaptan derivative is carried out, for example, by dissolving a phenyl-N,N-ethylenecarbamate having the formula (VI) in an inert organic solvent such as ether, benzene or toluene, and reacting the resulting solution with an alcohol or mercaptan derivative having the formula (VII) to obtain a desired carbamic acid ester (I), wherein X is a group of the formula:

in which Y, R, m and n have the same meanings as defined above. The reaction temperature is variable within a wide range and can suitably be decided as occasion demands. The starting phenyl-N,N- cthylenecarbamate can be synthesized from a corresponding phenylchloroformate and cthyleneimine.

The reaction ofcarbamyl chloride with phenol is carried out, for example, by dissolving a phenol having the formula (IX) in an inert organic solvent such as organic tertiary amines, and reacting the resulting solution with a carbamyl chloride having the formula (VIII) to obtain a desired carbamic acid ester (I).

The thus obtained carbamic acid esters represented by the formula (I) are low in toxicity to mammals and fishes, however, they exterminate injurious microorganisms and prevent other substances than the human body from the attack of injurious microorganisms. Accordingly, they are quite safe in application and are extremely useful in various fields as agricultural, horticultural and the like fungicides high in disease-controlling effect.

As the result of further studies, the inventors have found such a surprising fact that the present compounds display strong microbicidal activities against other microorganisms of an entirely new field than the plant pathogenic fungi. That is, the present compounds are expected to be utilized as detergents for wood, bamboo products, textiles, paper products, etc. These applications are entirely different in scope from those in the fields of agriculture and horticulture. In such cases, therefore, not only the fungi to be controlled are naturally different in kind, but also the modes of application of the compounds are different.

In addition to such widely utilizable fungicidal characteristics as mentioned above, the present compounds are excellent in that they are less toxic to warmblooded animals and that at practical concentrations, they do not irritate the skin. The present compounds have fungicidal actions on both Gram-positive and -negative fungi.

The present compounds are soluble in almost all of the organic solvents, and may also be used together with hydrophilic or water immiscible solvents such as, for example, benzene, xylene, ether, dioxane, acetone,

methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, isophorone, chloroform, trichloroethane, methyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve, butyl cellosolve, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetonitrile and methylnaphthalene.

In actual application, the present compounds may be used in pure forms without addition of other components. Alternatively, the compounds may be used in admixture with carriers, for easier application as fungicides, and can be formulated into any of the ordinarily adopted forms such as, for example, dusts, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, granules, oil sprays and aerosols. The carriers to be used may be in any forms of solids, liquids and gases. Examples of the solid carriers include clay, talc, diatomaceous earth, bentonite, kaoline, acid clay and vermiculite; examples of the liquid carriers include water, alcohols, ketones, benzene, xylene, toluene, solvent naphtha, petroleum ether and deodorized kerosene; and examples of the gaseous carriers include Fureon gas, deodorized LPG, methyl chloride, vinyl chloride, dimethyl ether, nitrogen and carbon dioxide.

The thus formulated preparations can be applied, with or without dilution, by sprinkling, dusting, pouring or the like procedure. Further, the preparations can be broadened in application scope by using them in admixture with other chemicals such as, for example, Blasticidin-S, Kasugamycin, polyoxin, pentachlorobenzaldoxime, 2,3,4,5-tetrachlor0phthalide, y-l,2,3,4,5,6- hexachlorocyclohexane, N-(3,5- dichlorophenyl)maleimide, N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)- succinimide, N-(3,S-dichlorophenyl)itaconimide, N- (trichloro methylthio)-4-cyclohexene-l ,2- dicarboximide, N-( l ,l ,2,2-tetrachloroethylthio )-4- cyclohexenel ,2-dicarboximide, 3,4-dimethylphenyl- N-methyl carbamate, l-( butylcarbamoyl -2- benzimidazole carbamic acid methyl ester, zinc ethylenebis-dithiocarbamate, l-naphthyl-N-methyl carbamate, 6-methyl-2,3-quinoxaline dithiol cyclic carbonate, 0,0-diethyl-S-benzyl phosphorothioate, O- ethyl-S,S-diphenyl phosphorodithiolate, O-butyl-S- benzyl-S-ethyl phosphorodithiolate, 0,0-dimethyl-O- (3-methyl-4-nitrophenyl) phosphorothioate, S-ll,2-bis(ethoxycarbonyl) ethyl]-0,0-dimethyl phosphorodithioate, 0,0-dimethyl-S-(N-methyl carbamoylmethyl) phosphorodithioate, 0,0-diethyl-O-(2- isopropyl-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl) thiophosphate, ammonium iron methylarsonate and the like pyrethroid type insecticides, herbicides, nematocides, mitecides and the like agricultural chemicals, and fertilizers, and synergistic effects due to mixing can be expected. In every case, however, no fungicidal effectsof the individual chemicals are deteriorated. Actually, synergistic fungicidal effects were observed particularly when the present compounds were mixed with N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)succinimide, O-n-butyl-S-ethyl-S-benzyl phosphorodithiolate, Kasugamycin and 0,0-dimethyl-O-(3- methyl-4-nitr0phenyl) phosphorothioate at ordinarily a ts? ts q a Typical examples of the carbamic acid esters belonging to the present invention are enumerated below, but the scope of the present invention is not limited only to these.

After 1 day, the seedlings were sprayed and inoculated with a spore suspension of rice helminthosporium leaf spot fungus (Cochliobolus miyabeanus) and, 3 days thereafter, the number of spots generated was counted to investigate the fungicidal effects of the individual compound. The results obtained were as shown in Table 8. As seen in Table 8, the present compounds displayed markedly excellent controlling effects as compared with the control known homologous compound.

Table 8 Number of spots per leaf Active ingredient Compound concentration Control TEST EXAMPLE 5 Cucumber Damping Off Fungus-Controlling Effects Farm soil was packed in flower pots of 9 cm in diameter. Over the surface of said soil was uniformly spread each 10 ml of pathogenic soil, in which had been cultured and propagated damping off fungus (Pellicularia filamentoza). Into the soil was then charged 15 ml per pot of each of aqueous 500 ppm. emulsions of test compounds in the form of emulsifiable concentrates. After 2 hours, 10 seeds of cucumber (variety Kairyoaodaicho) were sowed in the soil and, 5 days thereafter, the damaged state of cucumber seedlings was investigated. The results obtained were as shown in Table 9. As seen in Table 9, the present compounds displayed markedly excellent effects.

The ratio of non-damaged seedlings was calculated according to the following equation:
